CEILING MOUNT INSTALLATION GUIDE
The LP 740 LiteMount
TM
makes it easy to hang
your projector from the ceiling for fixed installa-
tion use in meeting, auditorium and training
room settings.
WARNING:
This installa-
tion must be performed in
compliance with your local
building code require-
ments. Local require-
ments take precedence
over any instructions given
in this guide.
You must determine the suitability of this prod-
uct for your intended use and assume all risk
and liability in connection therewith. In Focus
recommends that a professional contractor or
other facilities professional assist you in mount-
ing this device. Be sure to take precautions to
meet all local building codes.
Additional LiteMount Products
In Focus offers two additional LiteMount prod-
ucts that may make your ceiling mount installa-
tion easier.
•
The LiteMount False Ceiling Plate
(
SP-LTMT-PLT
) is designed for suspended ceil-
ings with acoustic tiles. It mounts in your ceil-
ing in place of a ceiling tile. It is pre-
assembled with threaded studs to install the
LiteMount brackets, and includes the neces-
sary hardware to attach to the brackets.
•
The LiteMount Pipe Tubing Extension (
SP-
LTMT-EXT
) allows you to install the projector
in a room with a high ceiling. With the exten-
sion, you can place the projector from 24”
(61 cm) to 46” (117 cm) from the ceiling (12”
to 24” with cut).
Contact your In Focus dealer to order these prod-
ucts.
